A Puzzlement (Bonus Track) (《国王和我》电影插曲) - Robert Merrill[00:00:00]

There are times I almost think[00:00:05]

I am not sure of what I absolutely know[00:00:08]

Very often find confusion[00:00:13]

In conclusion I concluded long ago[00:00:15]

In my head are many facts[00:00:20]

That as a student I have studied to procure[00:00:21]

In my head are many facts[00:00:27]

Of which I wish I was more certain I am sure[00:00:28]

Is a puzzlement[00:00:37]

What to tell growing son[00:00:38]

What for instance shall I say to him of women[00:00:40]

Shall I educate him on the ancient lines[00:00:44]

Shall I tell the boy as far as he is able[00:00:48]

To respect his wives and love his concubines[00:00:52]

Shall I tell him everyone is like the other[00:00:56]

And the better of the two is really neither[00:01:00]

If I tell him this I think he won't believe it[00:01:04]

And I nearly think that I don't believe it either[00:01:09]

When my father was a king[00:01:15]

He was a king who knew exactly what he knew[00:01:17]

And his brain was not a thing[00:01:22]

Forever swinging to and fro and fro and to[00:01:23]

Shall I then be like my father[00:01:29]

And be willfully unmovable and strong[00:01:31]

Or is it better to be right[00:01:36]

Or am I right when I believe I may be wrong[00:01:37]

Shall I join with other nations in alliance[00:01:46]

If allies are weak am I not best alone[00:01:51]

If allies are strong with power to protect me[00:01:55]

Might they not protect me out of all I own[00:01:59]

Is a danger to be trusting one another[00:02:03]

One will seldom want to do what other wishes[00:02:07]

But unless someday somebody trust somebody[00:02:11]

There will be nothing left on earth excepting fishes[00:02:15]

There are times I almost think[00:02:22]

Nobody sure of what he absolutely know[00:02:23]

Everybody find confusion[00:02:28]

In conclusion he concluded long ago[00:02:30]

And it puzzle me to learn[00:02:35]

That tho' a man may be in doubt of what he know[00:02:36]

Very quickly he will fight[00:02:41]

So he fight to prove that what he does not know is so[00:02:43]

Oh h h h h h sometimes I think that people going mad[00:02:52]

Ah h h h h h sometimes I think that people not so bad[00:02:59]

But not matter what I think[00:03:05]

I must go on living life[00:03:07]

As leader of my kingdom I must go forth[00:03:09]

Be father to my children and husband to each wife[00:03:12]

Etcetera etcetera and so forth[00:03:16]

If my lord in heaven Buddha show the way[00:03:20]

Everyday I try to live another day[00:03:24]

If my lord in heaven Buddha show the way[00:03:29]

Everyday I do my best for one more day[00:03:33]

But is a puzzlement[00:03:40]
